Majority of Americans support accepting Afghan refugees who worked with US, new poll shows

A majority of Americans across the political spectrum are on board with resettling Afghans who worked with the U.S. and others struggling to escape Taliban rule so long as they pass security checks, according to a new poll.

The survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds that 72% of Americans say they favor the U.S. granting refugee status to people who worked with the U.S. or Afghan governments during the war in Afghanistan — provided they pass security checks.
 

Patrick Raglow, a local Catholic Charities executive director in Oklahoma City, said he is fielding hundreds of community offers of help and support for the Afghan immigrants.
